Nunhead gardens often need practical structure without losing character, especially around sloping plots near Telegraph Hill Park. Gabion walls deliver robust retaining solutions while doubling as seating, planters, dividers or even water-feature surrounds. The look can be crisp and contemporary or more rustic, depending on the stone fill you choose. We design each build to suit how you actually use your outdoor space in SE15.
We regularly work across the gabion walls Nunhead area, including Peckham, Brockley and East Dulwich, where access can be tight and boundaries are close. Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period cottages often have narrow side returns and stepped gardens that benefit from slim, load-bearing structures. Gabions are ideal for stabilising changes in level while keeping drainage moving naturally through the wall. The result is a garden that feels larger, safer and easier to maintain.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and clear design options, including custom sizes, integrated lighting and planting pockets. We handle excavation, foundations, basket installation, stone selection and tidy finishing, with careful protection of paving and paths. You’ll get a written scope of works and realistic timescales before we begin. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, clean sites and a 10-year warranty on installation.
In the London Borough of Southwark, many gardens sit on mixed made ground and clay, so we design gabions with stable bases and proper geotextile separation. Parking and access around Nunhead Cemetery and residential streets can be limited, so we plan deliveries and stone handling to minimise disruption. Period property boundaries also demand accurate setting-out to keep lines straight and neighbour-friendly. We adapt basket depth, fill grading and drainage details to suit each plot.

Costs vary with height, length, access and stone choice. As a guide, smaller decorative or divider gabions often start around £250–£450 per linear metre, while retaining gabion walls typically range from £450–£900+ per linear metre. Integrated seating, planters, lighting or water-feature detailing can increase budgets. We’ll confirm a tailored price after checking levels, ground conditions and delivery access in SE15.
Most single-feature projects take 2–5 days, depending on excavation, foundations and the amount of stone to place. Larger retaining runs, stepped gardens or multiple features (seating, planters and lighting) can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by access for materials, spoil removal, weather, and whether we’re tying into existing paving or drainage. We provide a clear programme before work starts.
Many garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, but rules can change with wall height, proximity to highways, listed buildings, and conservation areas. If your property is near protected settings or you’re altering front boundary walls, extra checks may be needed. We’ll flag likely constraints, advise on sensible heights and locations, and help you confirm requirements with the London Borough of Southwark where appropriate.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our gabion wall installation, covering workmanship issues such as movement caused by incorrect base preparation, poor fixing, or inadequate drainage detailing. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and that surrounding ground levels aren’t later altered in a way that overloads the structure. We also use quality baskets and graded stone fills to support long-term stability and appearance.
You can choose from various stone fills, including granite, limestone, flint, recycled concrete and mixed river rock, with different grades for a tighter or more open look. Designs can include retaining walls, dividers, raised planters, integrated seating, and water-feature surrounds, plus optional low-voltage lighting. We’ll recommend basket sizes, stone colour and face grading to suit your house style and existing paving for a cohesive finish.
